1 Claire Clivaz A New NT Papyrus: (PSI 1497) 1 In 2003, the Papyrological Institute in Florence 2 announced the identification of a fragment of papyrus containing Heb 13:12 13, It was edited in 2008 with the label PSI 1497 (LDAB 10009) 3 by Guido Bastianini. 4 In 2009, 5 it was given the Gregory-Aland number This short note summarizes the Italian description of PSI 1497, then goes on to discuss its two main features. Finally, it suggests how it could have happened that such a document was overlooked by NT scholars. PSI 1497 has been dated by Bastianini to the beginning of the 4 th century CE (place unknown), and is said to display an elegant, librarian writing in a strict style. 6 It is a codex folio, recto-verso, measuring 9.1 cm x 1 Many thanks are due to Jenny Read-Heimerdinger for revising the English of this article. 2 C. Pernigotti, Notizie relative allo stato attuale del XV volume dei Papiri della Società Italiana: i papiri letterari, Comunicazioni dell Istituto Papirologico G. Vitelli 5 (2003) 61 72, here G. Bastianini (ed.), NT HEBR. 13:12 13; 19 20, in PSI. Papiri Greci e Latini. Volume 15 (Florence 2008) ; see Table XXXIVfor photographs. My thanks are due to Prof. Guido Bastianini for having authorized the publication of the photographs here. Bastianini s reconstruction is as follows: recto! 1xa ailatoã tom kaom] eny tgã pukgã tgã pa Heb 13:12 13 qelbokgã epahem toim]ụm.eneqwy[l]eha 3 pqoã autom eny tgã paqelbokgã tom o]ṃẹi versofl 1xb apojataãtahy ulim ȯ ḍ[e qc tgã eiqgmgã Heb 13:19 20 oaṃạcacym ej [m]ẹj.q[. ym tom poilema tym 3 p. q[. obatym PSI, Papiri 15 (see n. 3), VI. 5 I informed the Institute for New Testament Research at Münster about the papyrus in August Bastianini, 1497 (see n. 3), 171. Early Christianity 1 (2010), ISSN Mohr Siebeck
2 A New NT Papyrus: 9126 (PSI 1497) 159 Abb. 1 PSI XV 1497 verso 3.7 cm with a 2 cm external margin and a 2.4 cm upper margin, and numbered 161 (1xa) and 162 (1xb). The codex can be presumed to have measured 16 cm x 30 cm,7 every page containing about 20 lines with 30 letters for each. Thus, the entire Epistle to the Hebrews would have taken up 45 pages, starting on page 118 and ending on page brings the list of papyri with Hebrews to nine;9 it presents two main peculiarities. First, the numbering of the pages indicates a place for Hebrews among the Pauline letters not attested in any other manuscript. On the one hand, the 117 preceding pages are too numerous to have contained only Romans10, as is the case with 946 ; on the other hand, they do not leave enough space for any of the eight other places occupied by Hebrews as listed by Metzger.11 We have no means of taking this enquiry further,12 but 9126 apparently attests a place for Hebrews hitherto unknown in any codex, just like the recently listed minuscule is a reminder that one ought 7 Bastianini compares PSI 1497 to the group 8 described by E.G. Turner, The Typology of the Early Codex (Philadelphia 1977) 20. The spacing of the writing is about 12.5 cm x 24 cm per page (Bastianini, 1497 [see n. 3], 171). Bastianini, 1497 (see n. 3), , 913, 917, 946, 979, 989, 9114 and offers the verses contained in Romans would have occupied about 60 pages in the codex, according to the spacing of the writing. B.M. Metzger, A Textual Commentary on the Greek New Testament (2nd ed.; Stuttgart 1994) Bastianini, 1497 (see n. 3), 171. Romans and 1 Corinthians would have taken up about 117 pages in this codex but we have no extant example of such an order.

3 160 Claire Clivaz Abb. 2 PSI XV 1497 recto not to overestimate the significance of the place of Hebrews in 946, as underlines Metzger s remark about the predecessor of Codex Vaticanus, which had Hebrews after Galatians.14 Secondly, Bastianini draws attention to a unique variant in Heb 13:12, 5ny t/r p}kgr t/r paqelbok/r 5pahem, he suffered outside the gate of the camp. He considers this to be the introduction into the text of an interlineary variant,15 noting that the usual wording 5ny t/r p}kgr is replaced in 946 and codex P by 5ny t/r paqelbok/r,16 a feature described by Harold Attridge as influenced by the wording of vss 11 and That may be so, but we have now three different variants, and it could be argued that 9126 challenges an interpretation put forward notably by Tertullian18 and maintained by scholars still today: they generally reword 5ny t/r p}kgr as out of the city or out of the city gate,19 because 5pahem sounds 14 Metzger, Textual Commentary (see n. 11), 591, n. 2. Unfortunately, C.K. Rothschild does not point out this important remark in her discussion of the place of Hebrews in the list of Pauline letters (C.K. Rothschild, Hebrews as Pseudepigraphon [WUNT 235; Tübingen 2009] 146, n. 118). A careful reading of Metzger s information, together with 9126 and 2892, re-opens the debate. Bastianini, 1497 (see n. 3), 172. See also 104 boms, according to H. Attridge, The Epistle to the Hebrews: A Commentary on the Epistle to the Hebrews (Hermeneia; Philadelphia 1989) 390. Attridge, Epistle to the Hebrews (see n. 16), 390. See Tert., Adv. Jud. 14, mentioned by M. Ciccarelli (following Westcott and Spicq), La sofferenza di Cristo nell Epistola agli Ebrei: Analisi di una duplice dimensione della sofferenza: soffrire-consoffrire con gli uomini e soffrire-offrire a Dio (Supp. Rivista Biblica 49; Bologne 2008) 257, n The exact reference is Tert., Adv. Jud. 14, line 65. For a recent reference, see G.J. Brooke, 4Q500 1 and the Use of Scripture in the Parable of the Vineyard, in his The Dead Sea Scrolls and the New Testament: Essays in Mutual
4 A New NT Papyrus: (PSI 1497) 161 like an allusion to the historical Jesus offers a sustained metaphorical interpretation of the passage, by using in v. 12 the expression t/r p}kgr t/r paqelbok/r, which designates in Exod 32:26 LXX the place where Moses stands when he discovers the golden calf. 21 Whether alludes or not to Exod 32:26, it specifies that the gate is that of the camp, not of the city. It thus attests to an early interpretation of the verse that differs from that of Tertullian. A final comment: could have easily continued to be ignored by NT scholars because it was immersed in the 15 th PSI volume, in a list of literary and paraliterary texts between astrological or magic texts (PSI ) and fragments of Hesiod and Homer (PSI ). 22 The preceding PSI volume was published 52 years earlier, and up to that point in this series biblical texts were always published at the beginning of the literary texts. 23 During the last half-century, the status of the New Testament has changed drastically in Europe, as this example illustrates. It was while looking at a papyrus about Sappho in this 15 th volume that by chance I came across PSI This anecdote serves to show that New Testament research would do well to bear in mind that today New Testament means Early Christianity for many people: in the eyes of European con- Illumination (London 2005) , here 258; Ciccarelli, La sofferenza di Cristo (see n. 18), 235, 255; M. Hasitschka, Opfermetaphorik in Hebr 13:8 16: Eine bibeltheologische Skizze, in Horizonte biblischer Texte: Festschrift für Josef M. Oesch zum 60. Geburtstag (ed. A. Vonach and G. Fischer; OBO 196; Göttingen 2003) , here 242; Rothschild, Hebrews (see n. 14), 201. The NRSV even translates 5ny t/r p}kgr by out of the city gate. For the contrary opinion, see M. Theobald, Wir haben hier keine bleibende Stadt, sondern suchen die zukünftige (Heb 13:14). Die Stadt als Ort der frühen christlichen Gemeinde, in his Studien zum Römerbrief (WUNT 136; Tübingen 2001) , here 544, n Attridge, Epistle to the Hebrews (see n. 16), This expression is also found in 1 Chr 9:18 LXX: axtai ar p}kai t_m paqelbok_mur_m Keui. 22 PSI, Papiri 15 (see n. 3), IX-X. 23 The intermediary fascicules published in 1966 and 1979 do not contain any biblical texts.
